W. WARREN. M. WARREN. From the Charleston Mercury The 20th Day of December, in the If ear of Our Lord. 1860. Inscribed among the calends of the world— ■ memorable in time to comt —the 20th day of 1 »e<< mber, in the year of our Lord 18G0, has be come an epoch in the history of the human race. j A great < Confederated Republic, overwrought with arrogant and tyrannous oppressions, has fidlen from its high estate amongst the nations jof the earth. Conservative liberty has been vin dicated. Mobocratic license has been stricken ! down. Order has conquered, yet liberty has j survived. Jiiyht has raised Ids banner aloft, j and bidden defiance to Mijht. The problem of i self-government under the check-balance of sla very. l.as secured itself from threatened des truction. South Carolina has resumed her entire sov i ereign powers, and, unshackled, has become one j of the nations of the earth. On yesterday, the 20th December, 1800, just I before one o’clock, p. m., the Ordiaance on Se cession was presented by the Committee on “the Ordinance,’’ to the Convention of the people of South Carolina. Precisely at seven minutes af ter one o'clock, the vote was taken upon the Or dinance—each man’s name being called in or der. As name by name fell upon theearofthe silent assembly, the brief sound was echoed back, without one solitary exception in that whole grave body— Aye! At 1.15 o’clock, p. m., the last name was I called, ihe Ordinance of Secession was announc ed to have been passed, and the last fetter had ’.alien from the limos of a brave, but too long i oppressed people. I f irn Convention sit witip closed doors. But upon the announcement outside, and upon the j Mercury bulletin board, that South Carolina was no longer a member of the Federal Union, ' loud shouts of joy rent the air. The enthusi l asm was unsurpassed. Old men went shouting town the streets. Cannons were fired, and bright triumph was depicted on every counten ance. But before the Great,Seal of the State was af fixed to the Ordinance of Secession, and the names of the Delegates to the Convention were . signe ;, it was proposed that this ceremony should be postponed until 7 o’clock that even i ing : when the Convention should re assemble and move in procession from the St. Andrew’s i Hall, where they then sat, to the great Seces sion Hall: and that there, before the assembled citizens of the State, the Great Seal of the State should be set, and each signature made. The proposition was favorably received. At 6A o’clock j>. m., the Convention re-assem- I bled at St. Andrew’s Hall. At 6J o’clock p. m., I they formed in procession and moved forward in silence to Secession Hall. I he building was filled to overflowing, and they w ere received by some three thousand peo- | pie in the Hall. I The Convention was called to order. The sceue was one profoundly grand and impressive. There were a people assembled through their ! highest representatives—men most of them up i on whose heads the snow of sixty winters had j been sited—patriarchs in age —tne dignitaries * of the land—the high Priests of the Church of Ciinst- reverend statesmehand the wise judges of the law. In the midst of deep silence, an old man, with bowed form, and hair as white as snow, the Rev. Dr. Bachman, advanced forward with upraised hands, in prayer to Almigh v God for His blessing and favor in this great act of his people, about to be consummated. The whole assembly at once rose to iis feet, and with hats off, listened to the touching and eloquent appeal to the Ail-Wise Dispenser of events. At the ci se of the prayer the President advances ; with the consecrated parchment upon which i ' was inscribed the decision of the State, with the j i Great Seal attached. Slowly and solemnly it ■ | was read unto the last ward— "■li^olced''— when men could contain themselves no longer, j and a shout that shook the very building, rever berating long-continued rose to Heaven, and j ’ ceased only with the loss of breath. In proud, grave silence, the Convention itself waited the ’ end with beating hearts. The President then requested the delegates > (by previous decision) to step forward as they ! : were called in the alphabetical order of thedis | tricts which they represented, and sign the Or j dinance. Two hours were occupied in this sol- I emn ceremony—the crowd waiting patiently j the end. As the delegation from St. Phillip’s I • and St. Mie' ■ ~s e -.m forw-’. : .ain the hall ■ was niled with x .. .u<u> me Hon. R. ' 18. Rhett ndva .: ilto the parchment, the shouts ' ! became deafe n ;z, long-cont.mutjd, nnui he had ; seated himself, signed mid retired, it was a proud and w or.ln triiiiu \ trr.-cefuily paid, and appreciated. The same special compliment was paid to our Ex-Governor Gist, who recommend ed in his message to the extra session, the imme diate secession of South Carolina from the Union. At tiie close of the signatures the President, advancing to tne front of the platform, an- i nounced that the Seal of the State had been set, I ‘ the signatures of the Convention put to the Or dinance. and he thereby proclaimed the State of South Carolina a separate, independent nation ality. I o describe the enthusiasm with which this announcement was greeted is beyond the power of the pen. Tl e high, burning, bursting heart alone can realize it. A mighty voice of great thoughts and great emotions spoke from the mighty throat of one people as a unit. The State of South Carolina has recorded herself before the universe. In reverence be fore God, fearless of man, unawed by power, unterrihed by clamor she has cut the Gordian knot of colonial dependence upon the North— j cast her fortune upon her right, and her own : right arm, end stands ready to uphold alike her ‘ independence and her dignity before the world. Prescribing to none, she will be dictated to bv none; willing for peace, she is ready for war. Deprecating blood, she is willing to shed it. Valuing her liberties, she will maintain them Neither swerved by (rowns of foes, nor swayed by timorous solicitations of friends, she will- i pursue her direct path, and establish for herself , and for her posterity, her rights, her liberties and her institutions. Though friends may lad her m her ueecL though the cannon of her ene mies may belch destruction among her people, South Carolina, unawed. unconquerable, will still hold aloft her Hag, “Animis Opibw»qve Pa- j ; rati. ’ TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 25, 1860.

At a meeting of the citizens of said county this day, Dec. 21st, 1860, held in the Court house in Monticello, for the purpose of taking into consideration the present crisis in our na . tional affairs, on motion of James M. Williams, f Esq., J. M. Gilstrap, Esq. was called to the chair, and M. H. Hutchison requested to act as Secretary. On motion of Thos. J. Smith, Esq., committee was appointed to arrange business to come before the meeting, to-wit: Thos. J. Smith, R. J. Brown, J. B. M Phillips, A. J. Freeman, P. B. McMichael,Rob ert Brown, and James M. Williams, Esqrs.— Whereupon, the following Resolutions were read and adopted : a Whereas, the present crisis in our national 1 affairs, in the judgment of the people of this ; county, demands resistance; and whereas, it is the privilege of the People in their Sovereign capacity to determine upon the measure and mode of such resistance. Therefore Rewired, Ist. That the recent election of Lincoln and Hamlin to the Presidency and Vice Presidency, by a purely sectional vote, is a tri umph of principles inimical to our rights, and which if sustained and submitted to, would prove destructive to our domestic tranquility, our right of Property in our Slaves, and would I fnrnish our Honor as a free people. Rewired, 2nd. That the election of Lincoln and Hamlin to the Presidency and Vice Presi dency, procured in pert by a violation of the Elective franchise, in permitting negro suf frage, is a violation of the Constitution of the United States, the Laws thereof, and the de cisions of the Supreme Court, and that their avowed declaration to administer the Govern ment in contravention of the Constitutional rights of Georgia and the South, is just and sufficient cause for Georgia to enforce her so vereign rights, in the Union if she can, out of it, if she must. •*> Resolved, 3rd. We favor a Convention of the people of Georgia, as called by the Legis lature of our State, and recommend that they invite co-operation of sister Southern States in a prompt demand upon the North for additional Constitutional guarantees, which shall plainly deny to Congress the power to abolish Slavery in the District of Columbia, the Dock Yards and Arsenals of the United States, of interdict ing the Slave trade between the States, or of refusing the application of a Territory for ad mission as a State, whenever she possesses the requisite population, on account of Slavery.— And further, a prompt repeal of all laws enac ted by Northern States, having for their ob ject, the defeat of the faithful execution of the Fugitive Slave Law. In other words, a full and final settlement of all the issues between 1 the North and South, upon the Slavery ques tion. And unless satisfactory securities arc given before the fourth of March next, that these rights will be recognized and conceded by the North, the South should leave this Union, and demand a fair and equitable partition of the common property of the Government—which Resolutions were unanimously adopted. On motion, the meeting adjourned till Wed nesday, the 26th inst., for the purpose of nominating candidates for the Convention. J. M. GILSTRAP, Ch’n. M. H. Hutchison, Sec’y. BYJTELEGRzYPH. FROM NORTH CAROLINA. Raleigh, Dec. 20.—The bill to arm the State passed to a second reading in the House yes terday. The Assembly takes a recess till the 7th of January-. The Commissioners from Alabama and Mississippi were received to-day. The secession feeling is every day increasing in this State. For the Telegraph. CO-OPERATION MEETING IN RUTLAND A DECIDED FAILURE. The meeting that was announced to have taken place at the Planter’s Academy, in Rut land District, on Saturday, the 22d instant, resulted in routing the co-operationisfs. The day was as lonely as ever dawned upon Italia’s classic shore, everything was anxious for a large assemblage—but lo! the assemblage was non est. Three immediate, seperate State action secessionist and one co-operationist (not includ ing the speaker) convened on the occasion. In consequence, therefore, of the petite turn out, the speaker declined to deliver his address, and merely entered into a conversation on the issues that agitate the country. As we were not pres ent, we cannot give an outline of the conversa tion, suffice it to say, we are reliably informed that no convert was made. SECESSION. CORRECTION. Through an oversight, the name of the Hon. Clifford Anderson was omitted on the hand bilUannouncing speakers at Warrior District to-day. The gentleman, we hope, will accept the correction Speeches and Barbecue at the Warrior District To-day.-—Our secession friends are to have a glorious time at the Warrior District to day. Everybody and their family will be there. For the Telegraph. ——• A BONE TO GUARD. My co-operation friend, suppose you succeed ! Suppose you should have a majority in the Convention, and have the power to make Geor gia submit to the administration of Lincoln on the 4th of March! What will be your posi tion ? Look the matter in the face, and read its features truthfully. South Carolina has se ceded ; that is a fixed fact, and Florida, Ala bama, and Mississippi, will soon follow her. From your geographical position you divide and weaken tlis seceding States, and thereby invite the aggrc.*ion of the Black Republican administration on their heads. Nay, your State will be the rendezvous of Lincoln's aboli tion troops to assail them. The question is, which side will you take, when the hired butchers of an abolition gov ernment “ come down like the wolf on the fold,” to drench the fields of South Carolina with blood ? Will you side with South Caro lina or Lincoln ? You cannot be neutial—you must take sides—there is no escape from it. But I will not press the question I It would be an insult to your manhood ! I know you would side with South Carolina. Your noble, generous young men—yea, every man, young or old, who had a soul in his body, would rush to rescue their brothers from this abolition horde; ! But see what a position you have placed yourself in. You fight with a rope round your neck ; you are the subject of an abolition government, and can be punished for treason against your masters. South Carolinians can fight them as any oth er foreign invaders, without subjecting them selves to such a penalty because that noble State has seceded and the shield of her sover eignty protects her sons from a traitor’s doom. I Toil have no such protection; submission or the halter will be your choice after the 4th of j March, if Georgia refuses to secede and resume 1 her sovereignty for your protection. A South Carolinian can die only as heroes die—on the field of battle. You would have Georgians, who are not craven enough to be in sensible to degradation, to bang on the gallows ; *• felons. Does not your cheek burn with ; shame at the difference ? Cut these lines from the paper and stow them away in your pocket-book, my co-operation friend, and if it should please Providence to i scourge this land by permitting you to succeed i in Georgia, about the time your corn begins to ' [ . shoot and tassel next year, take it out and read j them, and if you don’t drop some hot ourning . tears of regret and shame in the crumpled pa per, it will be because you had able preceptois in submission, who had learned you beforehand to bear your shame. But there is away to avoid all strife ami bloodshed. Let Georgia secede and form with South Carolina, Florida, Alabama and Missis sippi, a Southern Confederacy, and not a hos tile soldier will put his foot on Southern soil.— Louisiana and Texas will be with us, and soon all the border States will follow, and form a galaxy of thirteen States.
